The Last Dark King

Latest website: The instructor returned the command of the team to Beowood and Raistlin, and changed his status to an ordinary team member.

Both Beowood and Raistlin are experienced captains. They have both carried out combat missions outside the city, and they quickly assigned tactical positions:

The lantern bearer is in the middle of the team, the researchers and scouts are on the second level, the long-range fire output and controllers are on the third level, and the short-range combatants are on the outermost level.

After arranging everything in place, set off immediately.

Jianguan is six hundred miles away from the Royal City. We plan to arrive before eve of the next day and rest one night in the Old City on the way.

In other words, they need to travel 600 miles in two daylight hours.

And the way to travel is actually to walk.

No one expressed surprise. Beowood used a crystal with complex engravings to confirm the position and direction, and everyone started marching.

Psychic energy resonated in everyone's bodies, making their steps fast. Raistlin checked back and forth among the team, adjusting the pace to make everyone move in unison.

Traveling for a long time is not an explosive sprint. Proper use of spiritual and physical energy is the most critical.

To both Raistlin and Baywood's surprise, Rhodes, who got the lowest score in the speed test, showed unusual endurance and endurance. His pace did not change throughout the day. The students who were energetic at the beginning were exhausted by the end. Even Beowood, who was famous for his speed and endurance, was struggling, but the student with the lowest score was still taking a leisurely stroll.

Instructor An Ye praised: "The pace is steady and the endurance is sufficient. I didn't expect your spiritual power to be so long-lasting."

Old Blind Moir opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth: "Yes, much better than some people."

Knight Bach said nothing, but there was approval in his eyes.

Baywood glanced at the crystal in his hand and said: "The astrolabe shows that we are still seventy miles away from the old city. We are much slower than planned."

Raistlin said: "There is still one hour left until evening time. Everyone, work harder, Egg. If you are exhausted, you will be troubled."

"no problem."

Egger snapped his fingers, and two streaks of white smoke came out of his body, rolling up Duoduo and Caramon, who were almost collapsing from exhaustion.

Everyone quickened their pace and finally arrived at the old city before midnight.

When they saw the light on the old and mottled city walls, the students couldn't help but cheer.

This was the first time for most people to come outside the royal city. Not only were they physically exhausted, but they were also mentally depressed.

Traveling outside the royal city was like a recurring nightmare. There was nothing around except the thick black fog that kept rolling.

The sun, the moon, the distance and the sky can't be seen. The black fog is like an eternal theme song, blocking out all noise, leaving only this side of the world illuminated by fire.

There seemed to be countless horrors lurking outside the thick fog, and the only solace was the teammates around him.

The repetitive sights and exhaustion made the spirit very depressed. The light of civilization that was finally seen made the depression rush out like a flood. Many students' eyes were moist, feeling that they had finally returned home.

Baywood and Raistlin were also relieved. Their first combat mission as captains made them somewhat nervous.

Overall, this journey was relatively smooth, with no dangers encountered. The sporadic monsters we encountered burned quickly as soon as they came into the light of the fire. Most were burned to ashes within a second or two, and a few did not insist on touching the team. the outermost layer.

Since the road was very flat in the red clay plain, there was no unhandable situation of being left behind. If they were forced to camp in the wild, the danger would be much greater.

The defenders of the old city opened the city gate and welcomed them in.

Beowood revealed his identity and purpose to the guard captain, and was soon properly placed. The team members finally had hot food and hot water, and many people who had been holding back all the way were finally released.

If you are forced to poop in the wild, the captain will not let you go to a secret place alone to deal with it. The team members will at most form a circle to help you block it.

Not only is it embarrassing, it will also affect the marching rhythm.

Everyone rested for the night and set off on time the next morning.

Time is very important here. Although the sun cannot be seen, its influence is still there. After sunset, when the sun sets, it is the time when the firelight dims and monsters are active. It is not until the sun rises in the morning that everything returns to normal.

Therefore, outside the royal city, it is generally not allowed to travel at dusk or night. You must find a human stronghold or stay in place.

Beowood specifically asked everyone to align their pocket watches without a single second of error.

After leaving the old city, everyone fell into boundless darkness again.

This section of the journey is much more difficult than yesterday.

After leaving the old city, we left the relatively safe red clay plains. The roads became rugged and the number of monsters became numerous. Monsters that could rush to the team under fire soon appeared.

Although they are destroyed in an instant, it will not only affect the rhythm of the march, but also consume the power of the guardian fire.

If they accidentally bumped into a group of monsters, it would not only mean that they would get into a fierce battle, but also consume a lot of the power of the Guardian Fire.

If the power of the guardian fire is exhausted, the fire will go out.

This not only means that they are in great danger and rekindling the guardian fire, but also consume a lot of precious materials.

If the fire goes out while performing a task, it is a serious breach of responsibility and will be held accountable by the royal city and even investigated by the internal affairs ruling.

But fortunately, Rhodes is on the team.

The Eye of the Soul can see up to two thousand yards away in the black fog, and the sight range is in the shape of a light cone. Rhodes can see the soul waveforms of all monsters within the light cone at a glance.

Under his command, the team avoided almost all large monster groups.

The few monsters encountered and the precise command, even to the point of "move two yards to the left and three steps to the right", not only impressed all the students, but also shocked the two instructors and a teacher.

Unlike the students who have less experience, the instructors and teachers are experienced and have performed countless missions outside the royal city.

They knew very well that after passing the old city, the last trace of the influence of the Holy Fire disappeared. This was a completely dark world, and wandering monsters emerged from the black mist at any time, either swallowing, being swallowed, or falling into sleep.

It is common to encounter groups of monsters when traveling here. In their expectation, the range of the Guardian Fire will be reduced by at least half, and the team will successfully reach the Sword Pass.

But now, the edge of the fire has shrunk by about half a yard.

Mohr hadn't even added phlogiston yet.

The three of them all focused on Rhodes, who was giving orders loudly: "Ten steps to the left! Stop! Take ten steps forward! What a shame... Oh, I'm sorry, Teacher Moore, please walk a little faster, the fire was not bright just now." Be careful if you encounter a wandering monster, you may lose some firepower."

What surprised the teachers and instructors the most was that this young guy could actually see a silent monster within three hundred yards.

Once a monster falls asleep, it will enter a state of silence. At this time, all its spiritual energy will not operate, and its soul will enter a state of nothingness. It will not wake up until it is hurt or a warm life comes close to it.

This is almost unavoidable, as few clairvoyants can see a silent monster from a distance.

And under his command, they didn't even encounter a single awakened silent monster.

An Ye and Moll both turned to look at Bach and asked in a low voice: "Is this the case for complete visionaries in the Knights?"

Bach shook his head: "We usually don't rush on the ground, but I don't think the complete psychics in the group can reach his level."

An Ye and Moir looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Maul even accidentally knocked out his prosthetic eye.

"This is such a treasure."

He expressed their current state of mind in one sentence.

Then, Rhodes found to his dismay that despite his efforts in performing, everyone in the team was more wary of him. The most outrageous thing is that even Mina is like this. Every time he eats, she is the one who helps him open the can.

Come on, don't you know that strong girls are not popular?

But what everyone didn't know was that Rhodes' heart was bleeding.

With so many monsters, if he met them in the sewer, the corners of his mouth would reach to his ears.

But at this time, he had to work hard to direct around them.

But these guys don't even appreciate it. You shout in an adoring voice: "Brother is great! Come on, brother!" Isn't it good?

When everyone is happy and I am happy too, doesn’t the atmosphere get better? Leading the way can also lead better.

But not only was there no scene as imagined, but Annabei next to her sighed: "My junior brother is really too strong. Fortunately, I always thought that I was a powerful psychic. I can't even see thirty yards away in the black fog. It's so hard." Even Shi Mu Xinzi, the juniors are so strong, what should the seniors do?"

Rhodes laughed dryly: "Senior, you are so humble. Your test score is a hundred times higher than mine."

Annabeth glanced at him and said, "Why don't you be your senior's boyfriend? My sister can protect you."

Rhode's face turned dark immediately, little girl, what are you talking about?

Before he could think of how to answer, Mina on the side started scolding: "Old woman, do you have the nerve to say this? Don't you even look at how old you are?"

Annabeth said angrily: "Mina, are you embarrassed to speak? Are you very young? Don't think I don't know. You are a student of the 20th class, one year older than me!"

"Haha, so what? My age is reflected in my figure, and your age is a factor."

"you!"

"What are you arguing about?" Baywood and Raistlin appeared in the middle of the team instantly. The two men separated the two women with their bodies that were half taller than everyone else.

"Let's talk about it when we get back. Don't get involved in personal matters during the mission."

The two women snorted and neither spoke.

Baywood glanced at Rhodes and said, "Don't make trouble. Don't molest women during the mission, especially female teammates. I'll introduce you to a leading figure in Hongfang Street later."

Rhodes was shocked: "Don't you hate whoring... whoring?"

"I was joking." Baywood turned back to the front of the team, but judging from the red tips of his ears, he didn't seem to be joking just now.

What a pervert, hypocrite.

Raistlin said with a half-smile: "Rhode, concentrate on guiding the way, otherwise some people will explode."

Caramon was instantly angry: "I didn't explode. I didn't envy him at all! Many beauties begged me to be their boyfriend every day, but I ruthlessly rejected them."

Raistlin shrugged and said, "I didn't say who it was." He also turned back to the front of the team.

Rhodes sighed, thinking that if you shout "big brother" in an adoring voice, it's great, maybe I will agree.

"Big brother is so awesome."

The voice came from behind, and Rhodes felt happy. He turned around and saw that it was the little fat man Duoduo.

He pulled at the corner of his clothes, his eyes full of reverence.

"Thank you." Rhodes barely suppressed a smile and patted him on the shoulder. I don't know where this guy came from. He was timid and not very powerful. He was not seen in the test.

But there are more than 300 people in the base, so it's impossible to remember them all.

Maybe I didn't pay attention.

In this way, under the command of Rhodes, the team arrived at Jianguan smoothly.

Although they frequently moved and changed directions, the time it took was half an hour earlier than expected.
